Instructions

Step 1

Prep: While the pan heats, dice the onion. Rinse and drain the black beans and corn.

Step 2

Cook the meat: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Simmer the sauce: Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes and green chilies, black beans, corn, beef broth, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add pasta and cheese: Add the spaghetti noodles directly to the pan and break them up slightly. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and al dente. Stir in the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese (if using) until melted and combined.

Step 5

Serve and enjoy: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro (optional). Serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings.
